CART.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Oct. 10, 1911.

Application filed August 24,1910. Serial No. 578,807.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ARTHUR N. Donn, a citizen of the United States,residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga, State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Carts, of which thefollowing is a description, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawing and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon.

The invention relates to new and useful improvements in carts, and moreespecially carts which are adapted for carrying concrete or othersimilar material.

In laying concrete paving, floors and the like, it is desirable to carrythe material in a cart which is so constructed that the receptacleholding the material may be inverted and said material dischargedbeneath the cart. Then again, in discharging the concrete material intobins or forms, it is desirable to limit the movement of the dischargingreceptacle, so that the material may be poured into the form or bin.

An object of the present invention is to provide a cart of the abovecharacter with a receptacle for the material, which may be readilyturned completely over, in order to dump the material directlyunderneath the cart, and to provide means for extending the deliveringside of the receptacle, so that the material may be poured from thereceptacle and discharged at one side of the axis of the cart.

In the drawings which show by way of illustration one embodiment of theinvention, Figure 1 is a side view of a cart having my improvementsapplied thereto; Fig. 2 is a sectional view through the same; Fig. 3 isa side view of the detachable spout; Fig. 4 is an end view of thedetachable spout.

In carrying out my invention, I have provided a receptacle 1 for thematerial which is to be conveyed, which receptacle is pivotally mountedon wheels 2, 2, which may be of any desired construction. As hereinshown, the wheels 2, 2, are mounted on an axle 3.

The receptacle is composed of end members 4, 4, which are preferablyformed of sheet metal and riveted to collars 5, which are fixed upon theaxle 3, by being shrunk thereon and riveted to the end plates, so thatsaid receptacle may be readily swung with respect to the wheels.Reinforcing plates 6 may be attached to the outside of the side portionsand riveted to the collars .5 by the rivets which hold the side piecesto said collars.

v The end portions 4 are preferably bent inwardly to form a flange 7.The bottom 8 of the receptacle is also of sheet metal, and is bent so asto extend upwardly at the front and rear of the receptacle. The endportions and bottom are preferably shaped so as to form a curved bottomportion and outwardly inclined'side portions 9, 9.

, The bottom portion 8 is riveted to the flanges on the end portions 4.Bars 10 are preferably riveted to the body of the receptacle adjacentthe upper edge thereof, and each of said bars 10 is formed with anextension 11. The extensions 11 are connected by a rod 12, which servesas a handle for the receptacle, and as a means for propelling the cart.The ends 4 of the receptacle extend slightly above the bars 10, asclearly shown in Fig. 1.

The side of the receptacle opposite the handle bar is the deliveringside. This delivering side of the receptacle proper terminates at apoint within the periphery of the supporting wheels, and, therefore, thereceptacle can be completely inverted so that the contents thereof maybe discharged directly beneath the cart.

A spout 13 is formed with an inclined central portion 14, and sidemembers 15. The inclined central portion 14 extends below the sidemembers, as at 16, as clearly shown in Fig. 4. The spout is adapted tobe attached to the body of the receptacle, and the central portion 14 asclearly shown in Fig. 1, will be in line with the side portion 9 of thecart, while the side portions 15 of the spout will rest on the bars 10and said side portions of the spout are adapted to be secured to the endportions 4 by suitable bolts 17. The depending portion 16 of the spoutextends into the receptacle, and may be attached thereto by suitablebolts.

It will be readily seen that the spout may be quickly detached from thereceptacle by removing the securing bolts. The spout extends to a pointbeyond the periphery of the wheels, and when said receptacle is invertedin discharging material into forms or the like, said spout would limitthe movement of the receptacle, and serve as a means whereby thematerial may be poured from the receptacle into the forms.

When it is desired to use the -cart as a dumping cart wherein thereceptacle is completely inverted, the spout is removed, and forconvenience in carrying, said spout may be attached to the opposite sideof the receptacle through the bolt hole 18, formed in the upper edge ofthe end members above the bars 10.

It is obvious that other means than that herein shown may be provided ifdesired, for removing the spout from the delivering position shown inFig. 1, so that the receptacle may be completely inverted.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Let ters Patent, is

1. A cart including in combination, supporting wheels, a receptaclepivotally supported by said wheels and having its delivering sideterminating within the periphery of said wheels, a delivering spoutforming an extension of the delivering side of said receptacle, andmeans for detachably connecting said spout to said receptacle.

2. A cart including in combination, supporting wheels, a receptaclepivotally supported by said wheels and having its delivery sideterminating within the periphery of said wheels, a delivering spout, andmeans for detachably connecting said delivering spout to the deliveringside of the receptacle, said spout being so constructed as to have itsdelivering edge extending beyond the periphery of the supporting wheels,whereby the contents of the receptacle may be discharged at a point atone side of the axis of the wheels.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
